Cocooning, work, music and delicious comfort food, that is all I need these days. I can already hear my friends asking me, what I have been up to all autumn long. To be honest, I’m busy making my home smell like Apple Pie. Happened last weekend. I baked an Apple Pie with apples I’ve been picking myself on a fruit farm. We have this beautiful fruit-growing region nearby Hamburg, called Altes Land, with apple fields as far as your eyes can see. Truly charming. Gosh and those apples, super tasty. So tasteful, that this Apple Pie comes simply with cinnamon and a gluten-free crunchy walnut & oat crust.
Happy Apple Pie Cocooning!
Filling Crust
6-8 big Apples 1 cup of gluten-free flour
1/2 cup of water 1 cup of gluten-free oats
2 tea spoons of cinnamon 1/2 cup of walnuts
1/3 cup of sugar 1/2 cup of sugar
1 tea spoon vanilla 125 gram margarine (or use coconut butter instead)
A few spoons of water
Pinch of salt
Preheat your oven to 180 degree.
For the Crust-Chop the walnuts and mix them with the flour, oats, sugar and salt. Add the margarine and some water. Press the mixture into a springform pan.
For the Filling- Slice as many apples, as you can fit in your springform pan. Pureé two apples with the water, cinnamon, sugar and vanilla and pour it over the apple layering.
Bake your Apple Pie for 50 minutes and serve it hot with ice cream or enjoy your pie simply with a cup of tea.
